Cloud 9 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle Dresen films much of the movie in close-up and medium shots, making sure we see every wrinkle and age spot, every expression, every emotion. Rated: 3/4 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Cloud 9 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Ella Taylor NPR Cloud 9 is most moving when it steps quietly into the gap between physical decline and the persistence, at full blast, of unfulfilled longing and desire. Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Cloud 9 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Donald Clarke Irish Times There is tragedy and awkwardness here, but Cloud 9 never feels like a chore. Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Cloud 9 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor "Cloud 9" offers the welcome spectacle of two oldsters discovering romantic bliss, even though that bliss ultimately comes at the expense of others. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Cloud 9 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Dan Lybarger eFilmCritic.com This German entry benefits from a matter-of-fact approach. Rated: 3.5/5 May 2, 2010 Full Review Cloud 9 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Loey Lockerby Kansas City Star This moral ambivalence is both the movie's strength and its greatest weakness. In virtually every way, Inge's behavior is unconscionable. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 2, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member L'amour. Sentiment puissant. Alors que je croyais que ce film allait nulle part, il est venu d'un coup me saisir et me bouleverser. Il laisse des questions en nous, du genre : Devons-nous nous laisser aller à nos sentiments, nos pulsions ou continuer notre route tranquille pour éviter les dommages collatéraux ? Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member You can tell its unscripted and unplanned and its mises a soundtrack but otherwise its ok. Its nice to see older romances but there was little other point to ths film file under ok Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very powerful, and self-consciously so, regardless of any possible questions about sudden character development. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great, original film. It's probably one of the most depressing films I've seen in awhile, I mean it dashes any remaining hopes of an already bleak outlook on marriage in society. It brings the look on relationships after the long term. And the scary part about it is, I could see the perspective on both sides and it makes you wonder about everything that can go wrong in the long run. This is one honest film. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member because love and desire has no age.... Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Yep. This movie is actually a feminist nightmare. It's overt nihilism is spine chilling in it's ability to inspire confusion and dread. It should honestly be classified as a horror film. It had almost no redeeming value of than it's perverse ironic one. Men. Welcome to the future. It's bleak and nasty when 60+ year old women are subject to uncontrolled hypergamy rooted in the limbic heart of darkness. How the f*ck did this ever get such rave reviews? The feminist matrix moves beyond the screen and shrouds the seemingly most astute reviewers with it's insidious social pervasiveness. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
